Notes
Note :
Soaking the Dal for some time will reduce the cooking time.
Cooking moong dal on an open flame will take less time compared to other dal/lentils.
As the water starts boiling it might foam a little it's good to remove the foam.
Keep checking the dal so that it will not stick to the bottom of the pan.
Add water as required.
Ghee elevates this dali varan to the next level.
